Sweden — The beginning of the year has meant some setbacks for the short and long interest rates and as late as the other day there were bad inflation figures from the USA which affected the listed part of the real estate sector in a negative way. But Mattias Baggfelt, head of Debt & Financial Advisory at JLL, still believes in a 2024 where the interest rate situation in Sweden will gradually improve and where a first reduction will come sometime around May/June.
